onwards the Czechoslovak State and its internationally recognised Government acquired once more their former rights and were, in respect of international law, restored to the same authority and to the same complete political,diplomatic, military and international legal position as is to-day the case with Poland, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Yugoslavia and Greece. The Czechoslovak Government, with its former President at its head, was once again recognised as the legal Government of a former State by almost all those Governments and States who, before the outbreak of the second World War, had maintained a strict neutrality or later entered the war against Germany, and did not recognise, on the one hand the settlement at Munich in September, 1938, and on the other hand the violent action taken by Nazi Germany, contrary to all its conunitments, in March, 1939, against the Czechoslovak Republic. In this sense the full diplomatic and international recognition of Czechoslovakia was put into effect by Great Britain /including all the Dominions/ and the Soviet Union |
